What is a Motion Sensor Trash Can?
A motion sensor trash can is a trash can that opens when you approach it with your hand. With its motion sensor, you never have to touch the can. All you have to do is wave your hand over the top and the lid will open for you silently. The lid closes when you remove your hand.
How does the motion sensor trash can work?
When you wave your hand over the trash can, the smart motion sensor trash can automatically opens, allowing you to dispose of unwanted items without touching the inside of the trash can. A motion sensor on the lid detects moving objects and triggers the opening mechanism, once activated, the lid lifts automatically. The device uses infrared sensing, with an infrared emitter and an infrared detector.
Motion sensor trash cans are the future of trash disposal. When you approach the trash can, it uses infrared light to sense your body heat and opens so you can take out the trash. The Smart Motion Sensor Trash Can is a great addition to any kitchen or bathroom.
Sensor Type
The type of sensor determines how close you need to be to open the motion sensor trash can. Most models use infrared sensors to detect heat, so they turn on when something passes within a few inches of them. Other models use radar waves and can sense motion from up to 6 feet away.
